Chapter 1641 Fierce Battle Against the Black Abyss Rift
The Black Abyss Rift was filled with a strong, almost tangible, stench of decay.
The edges of the rifted nest were jagged and bottomless, with blackish-purple mist churning and surging.
Countless twisted shadows wriggled and coalesced within the fog, emitting a sticky, teeth-grinding sound.
A mere gaze is enough to shatter the mind of a low-level cultivator.
"What a filthy source!" The leader of the Burning Heaven Holy Sect sneered, the void around him slightly distorted due to the high temperature.
"Be careful, the laws here have been deeply distorted, and our Dao principles will be suppressed here," the Palace Master of the Origin Stream Dao Palace warned.
The Ghost King's crimson eyes swept across the depths of the Rift Nest, where three enormous shadows were awakening. Their auras had all reached the peak of the Integration Realm, and some were even faintly touching the threshold of the Mahayana Realm.
"There are more than three leaders. This Rift Nest itself... seems to be a living aggregate of heavy water alien races!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the nest began to move!
"boom--"
The entire earth trembled violently, and thick, dark purple mist shot into the sky, transforming into three terrifying figures that connected heaven and earth!
In the center is a weeping demon formed from the wailing of billions of twisted, dead souls.
It has no fixed shape; it is merely a constantly churning mass of darkness, with a crimson dot at its core—its pupil.
On the left is a pool of silvery reflections.
It is liquid, and as it flows, it refracts a mesmerizing light. Wherever the light reaches, the spatial structure becomes unstable, as if it might dissolve at any moment.
On the right is a skeleton of a king.
It was forcibly forged from countless bones and even fragments of broken magical artifacts by heavy water, and its size was as majestic as a mountain.
Each step he took resonated with the earth, emanating an immense, oppressive aura of death.
The three leaders appeared, and a tidal wave of low-level heavy water alien races surged out of the rifted nest.
They varied in form, but their auras were connected, as if they shared a vast and chaotic will.
"Intruders...become a part of us!" The Weeping Demon let out a shriek that directly affected the soul.
An invisible storm of spiritual corruption swept in first!
"war!"
With a shout, the Ghost Emperor was the first to display his supreme power.
"Netherworld Ghost Path, manifest!"
The void trembled, and an incredibly thick, dark purple ghost fire trunk solidified and manifested!
Above the main trunk, four side branches simultaneously exude Taoist charm.
The power of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Souls branch swayed, and countless hideous ghostly figures transformed into a tangible torrent, reversing the mental storm and gnawing at the mental corruption storm!
The Yellow Springs, through the transfer of power from a branch, summons the River of Death, dragging any approaching low-ranking alien races directly into eternal slumber.
The Yin Sha Corroded the Bone Branch of Power, transforming into gusts of Yin wind, causing the black water on the surface of the skeletal king's body to fluctuate violently.
The Nine Netherworld Prison Suppression Branch's authority caused the Ghost Emperor to transform into the Nine Netherworld Ghost Emperor. With a single palm strike, the palm print contained the power of a Netherworld world, suppressing the core of the Weeping Demon!
Other Mahayana practitioners also set out.
"Time flows on and never returns, time is slashed!" The Supreme Elder of the Reverse Origin Heavenly River shouted softly, and an invisible blade of time swept past, causing the flow of time around the Silver Erosion Flowing Shadow to suddenly become chaotic and be cut into countless fragments.
Behind the Palace Master of the Source Stream Palace, the main trunk of the Myriad Waters Converging to the Source appeared, the Heavenly River reversed, drawing in all the water vapor in the heavens and washing it towards the Rift Nest itself.
The figure of the Illusionary Star Emperor became illusory, and the main trunk of the Illusionary Star Heaven scattered endless starlight.
Starlight intertwined to form a massive, mesmerizing array, enveloping large swathes of low-level alien races and plunging them into an endless starry illusion, where they slaughtered each other.
Behind the Grand Master of the Spirit Medicine Immortal Sect, the main trunk of life creation appeared, with countless world-purifying fungi and filth-devouring vines, exuding boundless vitality, growing wildly, taking root in the filthy land, and devouring the energy of alien races!
"Burn the eight wastelands!" The leader of the Burning Heaven Holy Sect roared, and wherever the Holy Fire alien races were concentrated, the low-level alien races instantly vaporized!
The battle instantly reached its climax!
The light from the collision of laws illuminated the dim world, and an energy storm tore through space.
Low-level heavy water alien races were annihilated in large numbers, but they quickly split and regenerated endlessly.
However, the terrifying nature of the Heavy Water aliens has only just begun to emerge!
After being cut multiple times by the Supreme Elder of the Reverse Origin Heavenly River's Blade of Time, the surface of the silvery flowing shadow began to simulate subtle ripples of time!
Although it was far less profound than that of the Supreme Elder, it greatly increased its resistance to attacks of time, and the speed of splitting actually accelerated slightly amidst the temporal disorder!
When the Weeping Demon was being suppressed by the Ghost Emperor Nine Nether Prison, its core scarlet eyes flashed wildly, and it actually began to imitate the fluctuations of the Netherworld Ghost Qi, releasing a mental shock with a similar effect of corroding soul power!
The most obvious example is the Skeleton King. The broken bones and remnants of magical artifacts on its body began to rearrange themselves under the influence of the black water, attempting to simulate the characteristics of spatial folding and the death energy of the Yellow Springs!
"They are imitating our principles! And turning this into a collective memory!"
The Palace Master of Yuanliu Dao Palace keenly noticed this, and his tone became more solemn than ever before.
This means that the longer the battle with the heavy water aliens drags on, the more troublesome they will become!
As the three leaders imitated and learned, their auras grew increasingly violent. Combined with the energy surging from the Rift Nest itself, they gradually stabilized their position and even began to counterattack!
The Demon's shriek was infused with the chilling aura of the underworld, the Silver Erosion Shadow's attack carried fragments of time, and the Skeleton King's defense was imbued with traces of space and death!
A sense of crisis suddenly intensified!
"We can't delay any longer! Let's go all out!"
The Ghost Emperor roared, and the Nine Nether Ghost Emperor's Dharma Form grew by another three points. The main trunk of the Netherworld Ghost shone brightly, and the four side branches merged, transforming into a huge Netherworld Judgment Spear, locking onto the core of the Weeping Demon!
The other Mahayana practitioners also prepared to unleash even stronger supernatural powers.
At this critical moment, Zhang Xuan, who had not yet used his full strength, made his move.
He calmly took a step forward.
But this step seemed to have stepped on a key node of the laws governing the entire battlefield.
hum-
A chaotic and vast Daoist aura silently spread out from him.
Immediately afterwards, to the utter astonishment of all the Mahayana cultivators, a complete Tree of Illusory Great Dao Rules and Authority slowly emerged from behind Zhang Xuan!
Two main trunks stand side by side, with thirteen side branches swaying!
The main trunk and authority of the True Demon Body Dharma Form and the main trunk and authority of the Fallen Golden Crow Phenomenon together constitute the foundation of this illusory tree.
Above it, the phantoms of thirteen top-tier Dao origins—time, causality, space, gravity, sword domain, summoning, the five elements reincarnation, the Purple Heaven Thunder Pool, the Primordial Qi Sea—flow endlessly on the side branches.
The Great Dao roared, weaving together the supreme Daoist rhyme that encompasses all laws and governs them all!
The appearance of this tree instantly suppressed all the chaotic fluctuations of laws on the battlefield!
The heavy water alien race, which was imitating and learning, seemed to have encountered a natural enemy in their chaotic collective will. Their imitative behavior suddenly stopped, and they even revealed a kind of instinctive fear!
